What is recorded here

Weir stands on the northern Shannon bank beside Graigue Island, marking a post alignment that cut through estuarine clay before the water took it back. The structure measured eight metres and faced north-south, suggesting human hands shaped the tide rather than surrendering to it. Its loss reminds the river that memory requires constant defence against forgetting.

On the N bank of the Shannon estuary adjacent to Graigue Island. Described by O’Sullivan (2001, 304) as a possibly post-medieval ‘post alignment, oriented N-S, 8m long, on level estuarine clays at low water, c. 250m ENE of Graigue Island. July 1994.'
